 Nervous Dyspepsia IS a com- paratively ner disease, growing ,ut of the conditions of modern
 fife. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and of the aervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa- rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli- cation lies chiefly in the disord- cred and depravcd functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus s:-"If we can in- duce the stomach to do it's work, and stimulate the excre- tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat ters which remain af er the life giving clements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Ne:yols Dys- pepsia and Nervous Exhaust ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) in less conolicated though sim lar l.lseases, they resolved to test 1t fully in this.
